To prepare for this recipe, start saving all of your veggies scraps. Carrot peelings, onions, garlic, celery and herbs. Along with whole chicken or turkey carcasses. Put them in the freezer until you are ready to make your homemade chicken broth.
Add 2-3 frozen chicken or turkey carcasses in a pot , 1-2 large freezer bags of veggie scraps, and a generous amount of salt and pepper to a large stock pot. Fill your pot leaving 2-3 inches at the top.
Turn your oven to medium-high heat, and cover until the water hits a rolling boil.
Once the water starts to boil, turn the temperature down to medium heat and let simmer for 2-3 hours.
Strain the veggie scraps, and carcasses and pull out any remaining bones. You may wish to separate the oil from the broth at this time. I like to keep the oil in the broth for added flavour when cooking.
Ladle the soup into your mason jars with a canning funnel, leaving 2 inches of head space. Let cool before twisting on tops. Label and date, and toss in the freezer.
